What should I do if my baby keeps coughing? These methods are very effective!

Sometimes children will cough for a long time. At this time, parents need to look at the actual situation. If the child just coughs and has no other symptoms, then there is no need to worry too much. Let the child drink more water and rest more, and it will be fine after a while. But if the child has other symptoms, you should be careful.

1. If the baby's cough is mild, he is in good spirits, and sleeps and eats normally, then mothers don't need to worry too much. Let him drink more water, boil some water with snow pear and Fritillaria powder, and he will usually be fine in a few days.

2. If the child has been coughing for several days and has drunk a lot of water but has not gotten better, parents usually cannot sit still at this time. They either start to buy ready-made medicines at the pharmacy based on their own experience, or see a doctor and start taking antibiotics, cough suppressants or getting a small injection to suppress the cough. Yuanyuan’s mother suggested that during this period, children should not be given milk, milk powder, or yogurt, and should not be fed meat, fish, or any snacks. They should only eat light and easily digestible food. When eating fruits, they must be soaked in boiling water or microwaved to warm them before eating. If you are worried about lack of protein, you can use eggs or soy products instead.

3. If your child coughs frequently at night and affects his sleep, you can ask the doctor whether he can take the prescription medicine called "Compound Pholcodine Oral Solution"? If possible, it is best to take it only once before going to bed. It will help relieve the child's cough while sleeping, and the effect is good. If you don't have this medicine and you want your child to have a good sleep, then put in the effort to massage the child's "cough points", each point for three minutes, which has a good cough-suppressing effect.

4. The child has taken medicine and received injections, but he is still coughing and it seems to be getting worse. It is recommended that he see a famous Chinese medicine doctor. When Yuanyuan was three years old, it was late autumn and the heating was about to come on. He had a severe cough for more than a week. The doctor at the hospital said that if he didn't get an IV drip, he would cough so much that he would not be able to sit up the next day. We insisted on seeing a famous Chinese medicine doctor. I had a high fever that afternoon, and the doctor only let me take antipyretics. The decoction prescribed by the doctor was not ready until 8:30 in the evening. After taking the decoction, I slept soundly that night. The fever did not come back after it subsided, and I basically stopped coughing after three days. Whenever I think of it, I feel very grateful.
